So nobody has seen this? It is really on and off. One day the locals are OK and the next I get the black screen. Thanks for any insight. Steve

OK, here is the actual message: "Sorry for the interruption. There is no need to call us. We are working to have this channel back as soon as possible. You may still watch non-local programming by pressing the guide button on your remote control and selecting another channel."...

Hey Guys, For about the last three weeks I have been having a problem with my 625. Sometimes, when trying to tune or record a local channel, I get a black screen with a message that there is no need to call dish, they are aware of the problem, and are fixing it. this has screwed up a ton of...

OK, what about two TV2 remotes? Can I do it to both, or should I? Thanks Steve

Why does this work? Will it work with two UHF remotes for a 625?

So would there be ANY fees to use the 942 for OTA, and my current SD AT100? So if my local station is not braodcasting in digital I can not record OTA on the 942.

If one were to buy a 942, what fees are we looking at to get it to work? I have a 625 with At100 w/locals. I don't want HD programing other than OTA. What is the difference between the 942 and 622? Thanks

OK, so now it looks like I would have to add another DVR fee as well. So if I understand it right, I am looking at 3 $6 fees minimum. Probably not worth it to me. Thanks for the responses. Steve

So I have found what I think is part of my answer. At a minimum there is a $6 HD enabling fee, and If I lease a $6 lease fee. Correct?

Can I get 622? I guess this thread is as good as any to ask my question. I currently have a 625, and AT100 w/locals. I pay 34.99 for programing, 5.98 DVR fee, and 5.99 DHPP fee. I am under the 18 month contract, and I get the 5.99 for DHPP back. So basically I am at $41 a month before...

Oh S**T, the Dishnetwork info says the 625 is USB 1.1. I would hope it still might work even if it is slower.

Good news on the external storage, but what about those with a 625? I want to use my USB port too:-)

So this is all hopefull news, but I would add that those of us with a 625 would like it as well. Something to look forward to in the new year. Steve

I had this happen just last night, I swear that I had The Unit set to record all new shows, and unless I am wrong, it was a new epp last night. Still, it didn't record and there is no mention of it being not a new epp or skipped. it just isn't there. This is with a 625 Steve

Hey Guys, I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and input. I picked up the TV today, and so far I am completely satisfied. I see the point of those with HD, but since I have never had it, this new TV is bigger, and looks better than what I had. I ended up using just a...
